Hey kolby! [ QUOTE ] 16k triangle model in the 3d viewer... "invalid function parameter 'msh->UVs.size()' : SOrry cannot calculate tangent basis for meshes with more thean 32k UVs" [/ QUOTE ] 16k triangles mesh and 32k UVs looks like the exporter you are using is messing some data. Have you tryed other format? Are you sure…
Theres a really easy fix to this, and i think what you're asking for is quite extreme, not something thats easily automated. I'll recap my workflow here. After you have your highres, and lowres meshs: Uv your lowres Make a copy of lowres mesh Explode copied version in low, and in highres Save out orig version Bake from…

Turn on the "show lowpoly tangents" to see the normals on these vertices... If are unwelded then you must see different normals and tangent basis for them ( like very similar axis in a bunch ). edited: YES, i see that too... When I turn the show tangent basis I see you must weld them better and sure UV's are welded too!…
So i've been meaning to bring this up for a while. I'de like to open the discussion back up on averaging the cage normals, as a feature got implemented(which was cool) but it is a much much slower way of doing the same thing in max or maya. So first off, lets go over what it takes to get an "averaged" projection cage in…
Hmmmm... strange.... Please, try this: 1. Uninstall xNormal. 2. Delete all the files from Documents\xNormal ( specially the XML and .dat ). 3. Remove the HKCU\Software\Santiago Orgaz\xNormal entry from the registry and see if that helps. 4. Re-install xNormal. Ok, I'll take a look :poly136: A cage is a way to control the…
[ QUOTE ] I noticed importing the mesh doesn't use both threads on my cpu, i dont have any idea if its posible to use both cores [/ QUOTE ] To use dual-core to import won't be a good idea I think... because you will gain CPU performance but you will loose it because the hard disk head have to jump from a portion of the…
Wow nice head MoP! You can use basic alpha textures. Let me explain why I said "basic"... The v3.4.1 added alpha blending support. Just make an alpha channel in your base texture to control the opacity. If you need 1-bit alpha just load Photoshop or Gimp or whatever and play with the transparency mask until you use only 1…
